MP Danish Ali, Abused In Parliament, Expelled By Mayawati From Party

Lok Sabha MP Danish Ali, who recently became a target of an unpleasant and communal exchange on the floor of the house, has been expelled from his party - Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party. "Anti-party activity" has been spelled out as the reason for the action against him. "You were warned may times against statements or actions against the policies, ideology and discipline of the party. But, despite that you have continuously been acting against the party," the BSP said in a statement.

BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri had used communal slurs against Mr Ali in the Parliament after which he met many big Opposition leaders. He even held a one-man protest outside Parliament yesterday to demand justice for Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, who has been expelled from Lok Sabha.

He was seen with a placard hung around his neck which said "don't turn (the) victim into (the) culprit".
